09:50:59	 From  Deborah  to  All panelists : good morning
09:52:35	 From  Carol : Good Morning
09:53:17	 From  Joy   to  All panelists : Hello from Florida
09:53:42	 From  Hyacinth  : Good morning everyone.
09:57:21	 From  John   to  All panelists : This hasn't started yet, right?
09:57:39	 From  John   to  All panelists : Great, thanks.
09:57:51	 From  AnnMarie   to  All panelists : I love the title of this webinar so much.
10:01:03	 From  Lupita  : Good morning!
10:04:50	 From  Jessica   to  All panelists : Good morning!
10:08:31	 From  John  : My boss calls this "paying for things" vs. "paying for use."
10:13:40	 From  Doris  : That
10:13:49	 From  Doris  : that's a fire hazard!
10:21:05	 From  Jules   to  All panelists : We've had something of a weeding frenzy in part because some sections have not been weeded in a very long time, and in part because all the public college and university libraries in Florida are switching over to Alma. I've mostly been doing it myself and it's been going since last July, so yes . . . do it more regularly so it doesn't become a huge project!

10:24:02	 From  Myriam  : Faculty are seemingly always anti weeding
10:24:32	 From  Angie  : Patterson really cranks them out!
10:24:57	 From  Jules  : Or at least his ghost writers do! =)
10:27:52	 From  Angie  : Haha yes it takes a village
10:32:06	 From  Sharon  : My favorite thing lately was "Knife Throwing: A Practical Guide." I kept it. You never know when that will come in handy ;)
10:32:17	 From  Cindy  : Someone STILL has a 30 year old tax book in their collection?
10:32:51	 From  Jake   to  All panelists : WOW!
10:33:39	 From  Cindy  : How old is this book again?
10:35:52	 From  Myriam  : oof
10:36:55	 From  Myriam  : snaps to that
10:36:58	 From  Jake   to  All panelists : Agreed!
10:37:27	 From  Lupita   to  All panelists : Many award-winning novels aren't popular with readers, anyway. Like the 'Topeka, Kansas" novel, for example.
10:38:22	 From  Lupita  : Many award-winning novels aren't popular with readers, anyway. Like the 'Topeka, Kansas" novel, for example.
10:40:53	 From  Ashley  : My situation is a little awkward. While I manage the collection physically (with some digital cleanup), I am not a selector. There are roughly a dozen selectors for my branch and getting this type of project approved is like herding cats. 
10:41:25	 From  Myriam  : Book depository vs library
10:42:06	 From  Cindy  : There is a saying at my library: "Weeding will end three days after the world ends."
10:42:14	 From  Kara  : I spent our Covid shutdown doing a massive weeding project. I now have so much more room & the room looks better. There are lots of books for the booksale. Plus we sent around 700 books to Baker & Taylor's Sustainable Shelves program. I think I've said all the statements you've said so far. I'm glad that I did this big weed because now I feel like I'm starting over.
10:42:16	 From  Jake   to  All panelists : Working consistently helps me from getting to that point of “there’s too much to weed!”
10:42:59	 From  Grace  : Is sustainable shelves doing well for you? We use it at our library and they have been slow in responses.
10:43:56	 From  Myriam  : theres "better world books" too for selling
10:44:13	 From  Kara  : Very slow. We use Better World too.
10:44:37	 From  Grace  : My director tried Better World Books and appreently they never replied either.
10:44:50	 From  Grace  : Thank you!
10:47:49	 From  John  : Wow.
10:48:08	 From  Cindy  : YUCK!!
10:48:10	 From  Ashley  : Oh no! 
10:48:16	 From  Cathy  : That's crazy
10:48:16	 From  Kara  : Yuck!!!
10:48:20	 From  Lupita  : Ewww that's nasty and dangerous!
10:48:23	 From  Judie   to  All panelists : We were using Better World Books but they are now requiring us to check to see if they want the book before we send it and will only take the ones they want. We are going to try sustainable shelves since they take everything. Our Friends of the Library hasn't had a sell in a few years.
10:49:58	 From  Lupita  : I once bought a "brand-new" book at the Seattle Library's store, and when I was looking through it I found black mold in the middle of it. I had to throw it away.
10:50:21	 From  Cindy  : For REAL!  It popped the disk!
10:52:45	 From  AnnMarie  : Don't take books out of the collection just because you don't like them.
10:52:52	 From  Doris  : How should we respond to "...but it's a classic..."?
10:56:12	 From  Jules  : The reason I need a very good reason to buy books about desert ecosystems working at an academic library in Florida. =)
10:56:56	 From  Pat  to  All panelists : Thank you for a very good look at the challenges of weeding!
11:01:31	 From  John  : LOL
11:01:32	 From  Cathy  : ewwww lol
11:01:39	 From  stacey  to  All panelists : hahahaha
11:01:39	 From  Jessica  : Yikes.
11:01:40	 From  Lupita  : Thank you gotta go to the info desk. I loved this seminar, so informative and funny!
11:01:52	 From  Rachael : Needs a NSFW label!
11:02:06	 From  Judie   to  All panelists : pineapple at the base
11:02:17	 From  Judie   to  All panelists : I've seen the book
11:02:37	 From  Jessica  : “Hide under my desk and cry” is how I handle most things recently. ;)
11:03:28	 From  Cindy  : What are the topics of the other 21 books?
11:03:41	 From  Doris  : There's a Burt Reynolds Museum in Jupiter.
11:05:03	 From  Myriam  : sooo cute
11:05:17	 From  Grace  : Thank you!
11:05:30	 From  Deborah  to  All panelists : Great job
11:05:30	 From  Kara  : Thank you!
11:05:33	 From  Lupita  : Thank you, again!!!
11:05:33	 From  Jean : You both are so informative and entertaining
11:05:46	 From  Martha : Thank you both. Great fun!
11:06:05	 From  Jake   to  All panelists : Thank you both so much for an amazing webinar. I look forward to the one the next month.
11:06:07	 From  Kitti  to  All panelists : I love to weed, but I'm not a fan of all the deleting that ensues.
11:06:11	 From  Angela : Thank you! Great presentation.
11:06:19	 From  Jules  : Do you have any tips for deselecting or hiding outdated ebooks, or do you think you'll cover that in an upcoming webinar? 
11:06:20	 From  Deborah  to  All panelists : We just moved to a smaller building and folks caught us at the dumpster...oops
11:06:28	 From  Hyacinth   to  All panelists : We are in the weeding process at this time and this presentation has been very helpful.
11:06:35	 From  Cindy  : Thank you both for the webinar, it was great!
11:07:14	 From  Deborah  to  All panelists : When  I pull old things, I try to suggest for selection a newer copy
11:07:23	 From  Christine  : Thank you! Happy wedding!
11:09:08	 From  Deborah  to  All panelists : What do you do about history...they are rewriting history now and if we week all the older things there is no record.
11:09:31	 From  Dennis : Do you have advice on the local history vs just old titles?  Do you keep even if phone/addresses given are out of date?
11:10:42	 From  Deborah  to  All panelists : American History is being changed.  Newer books have newer untrue ideas.
11:11:37	 From  Hyacinth   to  All panelists : Will the recording be available for any staff who did not take the live presentation?
11:11:45	 From  Jules  : I work in a college library, so it's a little different. We've had trouble evaluating / shadowing some that are part of a statewide contract 
11:12:00	 From  Amy  : Excellent webinar, truly.  So much useful instruction and reinforcing what our director has instituted.  Thank you!
11:12:15	 From  Charlotte  to  All panelists : Hey, Amy!
11:14:07	 From  Doris  : Thank you ladies for a phenomenal webinar. Will be attending your next one.
11:14:53	 From  Cathy  : Thanks! 
11:14:56	 From  Dennis : thank you!
11:15:09	 From  Lupita  : thank you very much!!
11:15:25	 From  Jules  : Thank you!
11:15:26	 From  Jake   to  All panelists : Thank you again. See you next time.
11:15:29	 From  Sharon  : thank you! It is raining and thunderstorming...
